Appraisal fair Sunday is cancer benefit

Allegro and Great Expectations Auction House are teaming together with Flagler Health Care Foundation Inc. to host an Appraisal Fair and Auction Sunday.

Called “Appraise It For You … Auction It For Breast Cancer,” the event will benefit the Joanne Arnett Tutschek Fund, which provides breast cancer diagnostic testing grants to patients who need them.

Setting will be Allegro, 1101 Plantation Island Drive South. Appraisals will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and local experts will be on hand to value your antiques, collectibles and family treasures, including art, prints, sculpture, coins/currency, jewelry, furniture and more.

Cost for appraisals will be $10 each, or three for $25 if purchased in advance, with 100 percent of the proceeds donated to the Joanne Arnett Tutschek Fund.

Following the appraisal opportunity will be a live auction.

Individuals can choose to place items in the auction by donating at least 25 percent of the proceeds to the Joanne Arnett Tutschek Fund through Flagler Health Care Foundation.

Buyers will pay a standard premium of 10 percent by cash or check or 13 percent for credit cards.

Items valued at $400 or more that do not sell in the auction can be placed on proxibid by Jena Baker with Great Expectations, with the item’s owner and the Flagler Health Care Foundation splitting the net cost to Baker.

Complimentary refreshments will be served by Allegro, with a grilled lunch available for $5 per person (lunch is included for those who purchase a $25 appraisal ticket in advance).
